Line Gauthier Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

found this illustration and needed to give this girl a voice ~

Listen to poem:

Our Secret

i have a secret
i keep inside
i tried to tell someone 
I tried
i worried they would 
pick a side
they didn’t listen 
so i lied
keeping quiet
to not upset the tide
while in my heart 
feelings still collide
i now seek places 
where i can hide
and hope one day 
my anger will subside

J. Summers February 8, 2021 at 4:59 AM It is so sad that children, or anyone else for that matter, must sometimes fend for themselves when dealing with emotional issues. The hurting can last a lifetime. John Line Gauthier February 8, 2021 at 1:56 PM Absolutely, so sad. Thanks, John~

Besma Riabi Dziri February 8, 2021 at 12:38 AM When we lose that fine thread that connects us to people who would lend a warm heart, a caring soul and an attentive ear.. when we feel lost in translation as our language couldn't be decrypted.. we just revolve around our inner worlds and hide inside.. how profound! How insightful! Always a great pleasure reading you, dear Line.. Best Regards. Love and hugs. Line Gauthier February 8, 2021 at 1:57 PM Thank you for your lovely visit and comment, Besma ~
